Deborah Morris
A girl splashing in waist-deep waves is attacked by an 8-foot tiger shark. A teenager tightrope walks on an icy steel beam 40 feet above hard-packed snow to save a little girl. An eight-year-old girl drives a half-ton truck over treacherous roads to help her injured father. These exciting, suspenseful stories are all true.
